Lilli Palmer interviews Thornton Wilder in 1952
Ойын-сауық
This is episode number 17 of Lilli Palmer's NBC daytime program. Her guest on this filmed program is Thornton Wilder who, rather than discussing his own works, discusses the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega. Interviews of Wilder are rare and it is wonderful to experience his enthusiasm for Vega.

truly. her dimples and the way her eyebrows are raised when she talks makes me smile
amazing. with such beauty, she was not a narcissist. besides, she had intelligence.
Erudite and elegantly beautiful.......what a combination !
You wouldn't get this on television today.Who the hell would be able to hold such a conversation ??

It's German, but I think it's mixed with some French and English since she spent a lot of time in France and England as well

Was für eine hinreißend charmante, schöne und kluge Frau! Ich hörte sie bisher nur in ihrer Muttersprache, Deutsch, sprechen. Mein Englisch ist nicht sehr gut. Ich kann aus diesem Interview bestenfalls die Hälfte verstehen. Aber ich könnte ihrer Sprechweise immerfort zuhören und sie dabei ansehen. Diese Mimik! Die runden, erstaunten Augen!🥰

I fell in love with Lilli Palmer when I was 17 and she was executed by a Nazi firing squad as William Holden shouted desperately to her from his prison window. She has been my anima ever since; but here she is, ten years earlier, beautiful, charming, brilliantly intelligent, interviewing someone on her level.

Fascinating! And Lilli is as charming as ever. Loved this! Thanks for sharing! I hope you'll post more of her episodes if you have them.
She spoke English better and more fluently and fluidly than a lot of native speakers!

Surprising to read most of the comments here are about Lili Palmer but not a peep about one of the the best playwriter in the world, Thornton Wilder. Remember Out Town???

No, not so surprising, considering it WAS her show after all.
For how long did her show run? Didn't know that she had a talk show in the 50s.
Top-notch entertainment, IMO.
Do you have more episodes of her show?

Unfortunately, no This is the only one I've come across for sale.
I read that Lilli did this NBC show while playing BELL BOOK AND CANDLE. The show lasted for 26 weeks. The play ended in June 1951. So it would be in 1951?

I'll have to dig out the print but I'm pretty sure the date on the printed leader was 1952. But that would have been a broadcast date. The shows were shot on film and broadcasts went well into 1953. So it very well might have been filmed in 1951.

Would be stranger still if they ignored her ravishing beauty, congeniality, and pixie-like charm. Now, THAT would be strange! Wilder, too, comes across as most likeable, and natural; for all his worldly fame and literary success, he doesn’t seem all that full of himself.

I'm a fan of both of them ... I'm 65 and remember seeing her in a number of older movies that my parents watched . Some of us are just surprised that she ever had a TV show and how she seems so much more knowledgeable than most actors and actresses about the stage and plays . As talented as Thornton Wilder was I don't think anybody is surprised to find HIM so knowledgeable here .
Greaet... great... fantastic...who is this pretty hostess?

Lilli Palmer was a fine and elegant actress. She was married for several years to Rex Harrison.
Her dress looks like the inspiration for the famous Fendi dress. He like for llysine
